What would YOU do?
So two weeks ago a car in the lane next to me kicked up what appeared to be a lid to a 50 gallon drum. It was a 40mph road, car was just ahead of me in the lane next to me. The lid flew upwards into my lane and hit my front bumper. Appeared to not damage anything but after i washed my car i realized it left an impression and light brown skid mark on the bumper (see below). If i had a front license plate it would have hit that haha great irony.
What would you do?
Repair/repaint
Leave it alone
Other?
I just dont know what its worth to fix. And if i fix, should i get a front lip put on while I'm at? I have no plans of lowering though. How goofy does a front lip with no sides/rear look with no drop? It definitely bothers me that my bumper has this flaw though

Polishing compound will get that out. As for the GFX lip, I did front only (without lowering) and it looks great. I wasn't going for the lowered look. My issue was that my front trim piece below the front bumper had been damaged by the previous owner. I got the GFX lip from Sewell for $135 (already painted), and that was no brainer. Now I see and IS with the factory front lip and think it looks weird. Let me see if I have any decent pics.....

To answer your question, buff it and forget it. Not worth a re-paint.

I absolutely love the GFX on the front, am impartial to how the side kit looks, and honestly don't care for the rear kit. I am off Thursday and will have to break out the camera for some side shots....
